Fuck everything.

Will April 8 stand as a mark of shame on humanity to anyone outside of Lebanon?

But we are somehow expected to show up to our daily lives just absolutely fine and go about our day.
It's been 3 years of useless condemnation, objection, and bullshit with no real actionable steps to stop massive bloodshed.

This is absolutely not normal. JFC.

Hard to put into words how awful it is to exist today. The whiplash suffered from the last 24hrs (let alone 3 years) is a lot to handle.

7 seconds into an evening check-in call with mom got interrupted by the sound of an incoming missile and explosion nearby yesterday.
She's thankfully fine.

Insanity really.

We don't know what to do and who to check in on. Friends and family are all over the area there.

This would be condemned in any other nation on earth. Fierce brutality and viciousness.

Official Launch Trailer for The House of Hikmah | Arrives April 8th, 2026 YouTube video by Lunacy Studios

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us.

It's incredibly depressing and alarming to see how this generation has just gradually kept increasing in price. 6 years in and we are now at almost 1000 USD for the Pro and a 30% increase on the base PS5s.

The entry price for next Gen whenever that time comes is gonna be tough.

It's rough when an award show omits talking about people deeply tied to their industry and their losses, doesn't it Geoff? I feel like there's some kind of lesson here...

Indie deckbuilder All Will Rise's dev joins No Games For Genocide boycott and plans to hand back funding it received from Microsoft "We encourage others in the industry to join us and take a stand."

all will rise is handing back Microsoft money & pledging @nogamesforgenocide.com — it’s a difficult thing to do when funding and attention are scarce commodities for indies like us, but we hope more of our fellow devs and indie studios will join us in taking a stand 🔥

Photo of a pamphlet/leaflet that Israel is dropping over Beirut trying to entice Lebanese citizens to join different WhatsApp and Facebook groups.

They are dropping pamphlets over Beirut with QR codes asking Lebanese citizens to join them. One of them even makes fun of Gaza.

Under no circumstances should anyone scan any of the codes.

Please do the only logical thing and dispose of them.

This is approximately 1/3 of Lebanon's map.

What in the ever living heck are people expected to do and where are they expected to go?!

700 people killed in the span of a week, 100 of whom are kids, 1M displaced.

Just pure freaking madness.

Awww Arden, I really needed that. Thank you oh so very much. 💜

We are amazing*

And words don't do justice how much I appreciate you

You may have seen me talk about AC Mirage (a lot), localization, gymming, better representation of Arabs in media, Palestine/Lebanon (my homes), and more!

From @ spatial(dot)data(dot)candy on IG, a visualization of how large the area of forced displacement in Beirut is.

We are talking a projected 500-800K worth of people, with similar warnings issued to the entire Southern region of Lebanon and Eastern Bekaa Valley, all during Ramadan in cold winter.

What is there more to say beyond rage.

They want to "evacuate" one of the densest suburbs of Beirut and have a quarter of a million+ people just move elsewhere and accept the fate of the destruction of their homes or worse the loss of their life.

Fucking nightmare.

Really don't know what to say, think, feel, or do anymore.

They will displace around 800K+ people, and maybe potentially invade (like they weren't illegally occupying parts of the country for decades).

Truly maddening how bloodshed and war have become a staple of our existence.

That's without mentioning the reveal debacle and the lack of accountability for it. The negativity in the weeks leading up to the release did not help the game nor the team one bit.

Wish we had more major diverse showings of games outside of platform holders or singular industry people.

It's sad it's come to this. 2 high quality high produced AAA shooters pulled out of market in the 2-6 weeks from launch.

Fortnite, R6 Siege, CoD, and more have needed the time and investment to recoup and build a fandom. It's surreal we cannot afford that anymore.

The industry has changed a lot.

I'm freaking glued to the TV at 3 am seeing Lebanon be dragged into another bloodbath (not that it ever really stopped) and I don't know what to do anymore.

Please stay safe, and I'm here to receive rants and help best I can.

Genuinely fuck the timeline we are in.

We are definitely not in the good place.

It's so fucking tiring.

The Japanese Pokémon 30th anniversary stream has one of the most bop-y bonkers pre-show streams I've ever seen.

I would love to have a dedicated video for this animation looping for 10 hours.

Pretty freaking cool #Pokemon30 #PokemonDay

We are only in the 8th week of the year bro.

What in the holy heck is happening.
I was told year of the fire Horse goes fast, but this is blazing lightspeed.

Heck dude

I was hoping they would be working on the trilogy remake...
This is pretty freaking sad.

I find it super wholesome that two lunar events started on the same day. Chinese lunar new year and Ramadan.

So happy year of the horse, and Ramadan Kareem everyone!

The way I bloody shot up from the couch and literally started jumping up and down!

Seems like it's still far but BOY am I ready to jump back into that world.
